The
Cleveland Gray's, a non-profit organization, was founded in 1837 as
a private militia and the first company of uniformed troops west of
the Allegheny Mountains. Their mission is to preserve our
historical Armory Museum, support our Armed Forces and advance the
military heritage of Greater Cleveland. The Armory, built in 1893,
is on the National Register of Historical Places and a City
Landmark.
The Armory
built by the Cleveland Grays is said to be haunted by apparitions
and the sound of ghostly footsteps on the staircases and floors.
The Grays were a fighting force which fought in the Civil War,
Spanish-American War, and World War One. Today the armory is a
tourist attraction and museum.
